Michael Vick joins FOX Sports as NFL analyst

Fox Sports is set to officially announce Vick’s addition to its NFL broadcast team on Sunday. Vick will be a studio analyst for “Fox NFL Kickoff,” which will precede regular pregame show “Fox NFL Sunday.”

“I’m very excited,” Vick told USA Today Friday. “Over the last seven or eight months, I’ve done a lot of interviews, and I think I’ve gotten better as I’ve been put in those situations more often. Things really came together (with Fox) over the last couple months. They have shows that I have always watched and admired. My friends and family are thankful and proud of me.”

He was suspended from the NFL and spent 21 months in prison. In 2009, the Falcons released, who went on to sign with the Eagles after being reinstated to the league.
